The birds can't really use this...they can't stand in it...too deep. You would need a shallow saucer like under the smaller pot and a few rocks for them to stand on. The spray thing can float in the saucer but it will need refilling often. Good luck. There are a couple of channels where they do birdbath/fountains but off the top of my head I can't remember the names. Sorry. 😔
I sure hope you asked your stepchildren for permission to drill a hole in their Darth Vader alarm clock. My oldest son would have had a heart attack over that!
That’s nice and simple,you gave me an idea with the pot tray on how to separate the bottom of the big pot with the upper section.Thanks for the video 👍
I really like the first fountain.. it’s very do-able...the second one is really beautiful but I’m older so the gentleman’s version is simpler and I think I will be able to do it..thankyou..!!!!!!
Thank you both for the great video! I think I would personally use a dremmel tool to make a "U" shape in the lip of the planter for the water pumps power cord to rest in the "groove" instead of being in a bind with all the weight of the water and rock filler. I believe over time, it could cause wear in the cord with extreme heat. Water & electricity is not a good combination. Also, I would use a plexiglass cover over my electrical outlet to prevent splashes of water to my outlet 🔌🚱😳😬
Oh goodness, I'm excited about this. A friend of mine made me a water well out of auto tires. I was thinking of what I can place in the well that's not plants. This solar powered fountain is the best 😊
Was it being solar powered this would make a decent mosquito trap. The fountain would be off at the time mosquitoes are most active so they could lay their eggs in the water and then the daily agitation would keep the larvae from hatching, or you add a anti-development chemical to the water. I think I would plant the bottom pot and offset the top pot though.. the second fountain would also look better if each level was offset, I would do one to the right and the other to the left
To get your holes the right size, use a soldering iron. Draw your circle using your tubing as the pattern. A soldering iron is also great to put holes in pots that don't already have holes or to add more drainage.
Oh wow!!! I'm 8n love with both of them. Love to see there's solar pumps. I need to order a few & get busy. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!! Much Love ❣️🤗🌷🌹
Lol the second one I would put tropical water plants and top it with a volcano then have led lights that made the water look red, orange, yellow even blue and green to look like it's erupting.
so simple and effective, love it. I didnt realise that you could get those fountains with spacers, I had one in my bird bath but it just kept draining all the water out over the side.
I just found the solar powered feature with spacers on Amazon in under 30 seconds. Mademax was the brand name and it's very inexpensive. Awesome 😎 I can't wait to order this and try it out!
While watching you make the first fountain in video, I noticed your very creative bench in the background. It looks like cinder blocks and wood logs. Very creative with the basics. Are the bricks held with mortar? So cool.
